Driving From Melbourne To Perth | Full 35 hours | Pt1 of 3

[@AridersLifeYT]

Fuel Costs. It cost me $700 to drive from Melbourne to Perth then back to Melbourne, 7000km total round trip. Fuel costs $1.46 per litre for 91, i carried 2 spare 20L petrol cans because Cocklepiddy and many other service stations out there charge $1.80 to $2.00 per litre for 91. Even more for Diesel. So my advice is Carry 2 or more spare 20L petrol canisters and use those at the most expensive petrol stations. I estimated i saved myself about $300 in additional fuel costs.

My parents moved me from Melbourne to Whyalla in January 1974 over two days by car. I moved from Whyalla to Adelaide (by bus) in July 1982. On the bus trip, I saw the 'Christmas Tree" lights at Port Pirie at 2:30AM and passed through the main street of Snowtown at 3:30AM. due to the darkness, I did not see the Bank SA branch at Snowtown. Arrived in Adelaide at 6AM.

Just finished Part 1, two parts to go! Ten years ago I did Melbourne to Townsville and back in a Ford Laser with no cruise control, I think my right foot is still aching! Went up there using the inland route and came back down the coast, loved it and would do it again in a heartbeat. Have also done Melbourne - Brisbane and back a couple of times, and the Melbourne - Sydney commute more times than I could count. I miss being on the road! Have never driven the Nullarbor though - it's definitely one for my bucket list. In the meantime I'm travelling vicariously through your videos :) Thanks for all the effort you took to record and post them!

Hello, where are you driving from, you dont want to drive at night due to the heavy wildlife. i hit 3 kangaroos, and 1 wombat on this trip as i was driving at night. bullbar helps. The entire trip from melb to perth was 35hours. its a long trip, i would recommend you stop and stay somewhere each night, roughly every 700km.
